Site History

Pre-Contact

The Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples have resided on these lands for thousands of years. This was a land of abundance, and the lands of the Burrard Peninsula were used for hunting and gathering. Large mammals including bear, elk, and wapiti co-existed here in a rich natural habitat.

The shores of what would be known as Vancouver were first visited by European sailors in the late 1700s. It would be nearly another 100 years before the City of Vancouver was founded in 1886, on the shores of Burrard Inlet. The City population boomed over the early years, climbing from less than 14,000 in 1891 to over 100,000 within two decades.

Crofton Manor sits in what was once the municipality of Point Grey, which was founded in 1908. Point Grey existed as its own municipality until 1929, when it amalgamated with the Cities of Vancouver and South Vancouver.

Since that time, the boundaries of Vancouver have not changed.

Historic trails crossed the peninsula following the contours of the land, connecting villages along the Fraser River with the villages at False Creek and beyond, and the trails enabled access for gathering of food, medicines and materials.



Site History

Recent Years at Crofton ManorNew development has been proposed at Crofton Manor in the past decade. In 2011, a rezoning application proposed to add new six, four, and three-storey buildings to Crofton Manor to accommodate an expanded and renewed seniors’ housing and care facility.

This application was approved by Council in 2011. While the zoning was enacted in 2013, no construction or redevelopment has been pursued at Crofton Manor based on this proposal. View of Main Lodge from Southeast, from March 20 2010 rezoning

application, approved on February 15, 2011.

In 1972, the zoning of a large 2.29 hectare (5.65 acres) site along West 41st Avenue, between Trafalgar and Mackenzie Streets, was changed from residential to a CD-1 district to allow the development of a seniors’ housing and care facility. This is the site that became Crofton Manor.

Construction of the facility commenced over the following years. Since then, some additions have followed, including a new three-storey building on the site which was completed in 1989. Crofton Manor has now been operating at this location for over 40 years, providing a spectrum of care to seniors in the broader community.

Development of Seniors’ Housing

By 1928, Vancouver’s streetcar network stretched to all corners of the city. Lines along 41st Avenue and Dunbar Street served the area, and were complemented by the Interurban Line to Steveston, running along what we now know as the Arbutus Greenway.

Though streetcar service in Vancouver ended in 1955, a new B-Line bus service will roll out along 41st Avenue in 2019, connecting the University of British Columbia (UBC) to the Expo and Canada Lines.

Populations in both neighbourhoods and cities shift over time. Since Expo 86, the neighbourhoods surrounding Crofton Manor have generally seen a modest population increase, though in the last decade that trend has reversed. Since 2006 the neighbourhood population has declined by over 1,000 people.

Over the same 30-year period, Vancouver as a whole has grown by nearly 50%, adding almost 200,000 new residents within its borders. That growth has remained steady in recent years.

One effect has been that an ever-smaller proportion of residents reside in the southwest neighbourhoods around Crofton Manor.

Population ChangesPopulation Changes, 1986-2016

Across Canada, the proportion of seniors, defined as people 65 or older, as part of the overall population, is expected to grow significantly. This transition is already seen in the neighbourhood surrounding Crofton Manor.

Despite overall population losses in the past decade, the area has seen an increase in its seniors population, which now represents 22% of the overall population. This is also much higher than Vancouver as a whole, where 15% of the overall population is over 65.

This growth will mean that the need for seniors housing options is also expected to grow over time.

City Policies

Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale/Shaughnessy (ARKS) Community VisionIn 2005, Vancouver City Council approved the Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale/Shaughnessy (ARKS)

Community Vision. The document provides direction on a range of issues in the neighbourhood,

such as housing, local shopping areas, parks, and community safety. The ARKS Community

Vision also identifies directions that may require detailed future planning.

15.11 Seniors’ Housing Some small developments designed for seniors should be considered near parks, shopping, transit, and services to allow seniors to stay in the community as their housing needs change.

16.5 Allow New Housing Types On or Near Arterial Roads New housing types should be permitted on or near arterial roads in ARKS, subject to detailed planning and impact mitigation.

16.6 Allow New Housing Near Shopping Areas New housing types should be permitted near shopping areas in ARKS, subject to detailed planning and impact mitigation.

26.7 Encourage Sustainable Development The community and the City should encourage all new development, including renovations and additions, to adopt more sustainable practices and ‘green strategies’ such as storm water management, energy and water use reduction, alternative energy sources, and water recycling.

approved by City Council November 1, 2005

Approved ARKS Vision Directions

27.1 Community Involvement in Decision Making ARKS residents should have greater, and more timely, input into decision making about changes in their community on matters ranging from major initiatives like the planning of the Arbutus Corridor or the provision of facilities and services, to recurring decisions relating to street and traffic changes or the review of development proposals.

In November 2017, Council approved the Housing Vancouver Strategy (2018–2027) and 3-Year Action Plan (2018- 2020). The strategy recognizes our city is home to a diverse population with a broad range of backgrounds, household types, incomes, and occupations. It aims to build the right types of housing for families, key workers, young residents, and seniors, providing the kinds of homes they need and can afford.

The core goals of the strategy also include: protecting and renewing affordable rental housing across Vancouver; providing housing and support for our most vulnerable residents; and streamlining City processes for faster housing development.

Success Depends on Support from Partners

• Commitment from all levels of government

• Support and cooperation of stakeholders and partners

• Widespread support from the community

The Housing Continuum consists of the range of housing options available to households of all income levels, extending from emergency shelter and housing for the homeless through to affordable rental housing and homeownership.

The City of Vancouver faces significant challenges at all points along the housing continuum. In the context of these challenges, the City is committed to policies and actions to improve housing affordability and diversity at all points along the continuum.

HOUSING VANCOUVER 10 YEAR HOUSING TARGETS



What are the goals of the Policy?Updated in 2013, this rezoning policy establishes policies to achieve higher sustainability standards as an essential component in the rezoning of large development sites.

What are Large Developments?Large Developments are considered to be rezoning applications that involve a land parcel or parcels having a site size of 8,000 square metres (1.98 acres) or more, or contain 45,000 square metres (484,375 square feet) or more of new development floor area.

What are the Policy requirements? The policy requires submission of defined plans and studies to address the following objectives:

1. Sustainable Site Design

2. Access to Nature

3. Sustainable Food Systems

4. Green Mobility

5. Rainwater Management

6. Zero Waste Planning

7. Affordable Housing

8. Low Carbon Energy Supply

Rezoning Policy For Sustainable Large DevelopmentsThis policy requires plans and studies to achieve a higher level of sustainability in the areas of District Energy, Site Design, Transportation, Rainwater and Solid Waste Management and Housing.

City Policies

Improve the health and wellbeing of the community, to provide habitat, to enhance ecosystem function and services, to create public open spaces for people to gather and socialize, and to create opportunities for people to directly experience nature in the city.

Reduce energy needs by reducing reliance on mechanical systems for heating, cooling and lighting, and making increased use of solar power, wind direction and other climatic effects for building needs.

Improve the resilience of Vancouver’s food system in accordance with the vision, principles and goals defined in the Vancouver Food Strategy (2013).

Reduce rerliance on travel that contributes to GHG emissions and poor air quality; support a thriving economy, improve health of residents, and enhance natural environment; and meet mobility needs while minimizing environmental impacts and providing long-term health benefits.

Reduce stormwater discharge, reduce the generation of runoff, treat surface runoff to reduce contaminants, and where possible, conserve potable water use.

Foster ongoing waste reduction and increased diversion of products and materials from the waste stream through re-use, composting and recycling to facilitate the reorientation of peoples’ habits and practices toward the City’s zero waste target.

Create options for more housing affordability, types and choices, including housing for individuals and families that fall under the Housing Income Limits published by BC Housing, and purpose-built rental housing for moderate income households.

This will contribute to our Greenest City target on Climate Leadership and target to reducecommunity-based greenhouse gas emissions by 33% from 2007 levels. It will also contributeto the Greenest City target for Green Buildings, to reduce energy use and greenhouse gasemissions in existing buildings by 20% over 2007 levels

Draft Principles

Housing1. Minimize disruption to current residents on-site during

the redevelopment process, including no displacement of current residents from the site.

2. Renew, replace, and, if possible, increase the number of seniors care units and beds on the site.

3. Provide a range of housing types, including affordable housing, to accommodate different income levels and household types and to expand options in the neighbourhood and create a complete community.

Urban Design4. Explore a range of options for site design, height, density, massing and open

space. The options should respond to these guiding principles as well as the directions within the ARKS Community Vision.

5. Ensure that urban design objectives for built form include contextual fit, transition in scale to the existing neighbourhood, and potential future redevelopment in the area.

6. Address views, visual privacy, building separation, and shadowing impacts of the proposed design on adjacent residential neighbours.

7. Provide useable on-site open space, both public and private, integrated with the landscape and site design to enhance access to green space for all users and the community.

8. Site design should include on-site circulation for multiple modes of transportation and be compatible with the existing street and path networks.

9. Protect, as much as possible, existing mature trees on site, including those at the perimeter, to aid in transitions in building scale to the surrounding neighbourhood and maintain the urban tree canopy.
